Port Coquitlam

Known locally as PoCo, Port Coquitlam is a tight knit community wrapped by rivers and one of the region's best trail networks.

A revitalised downtown along Shaughnessy Street gives PoCo a genuine main street, with the community's recreation complex, shops and events anchoring local life.

The Traboulay PoCo Trail loops the entire city, connecting the Coquitlam and Pitt Rivers and giving residents easy access to walking, running and cycling right from their doorsteps.

Housing leans toward detached and townhome living at prices that often undercut neighbouring cities, which makes Port Coquitlam a favourite for young families and first time buyers who still want space and a strong community feel.
